208 Book of Numbers
said by the command of the Lord: The tribe of
the children of Joseph hath spoken rightly.
6 And this is the law promulgated by the Lord
touching the daughters of Salphaad: Let them
marry to whom they will, only so that it be to
men of their own tribe.
7 Lest the possession of the children of Israel
be mingled from tribe to tribe. For all men shall
marry wives of their own tribe and kindred:
8 And all women shall take husbands of the
same tribe: that the inheritance may remain in
the families.
9 And that the tribes be not mingled one with
another, but remain so
10 As they were separated by the Lord. And
the daughters of Salphaad did as was com-
manded:
11 And Maala, and Thersa, and Hegla, and
Melcha, and Noa were married to the sons of
their uncle by their father
12 Of the family of Manasses, who was the son
of Joseph: and the possession that had been al-
lotted to them, remained in the tribe and family
of their father.
13 These are the commandments and judg-
ment, which the Lord commanded by the hand
of Moses to the children of Israel, in the plains
of Moab upon the Jordan over against Jericho.
